ORTHOSKRJABINIA ROSTELLATA (CESTOIDEA: DILEPIDIDAE), FROM THE BROWN-HEADED NUTHATCH, SITTA PUSILLA (PASSERIFORMES: SITTIDAE), FROM NORTHEASTERN TEXAS

摘要

The dilepidid tapeworm, Anonchotaenia rostellata (Rodgers 1941) was described from 13 specimens taken from the small intestine of a northern cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis (Linnaeus) collected at Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma, in the spring of 1940 (Rodgers 1941). In 1948, A. rostellata was transferred to the genus Ortho-skrjabinia and is the only North American representative of that genus (see Schmidt 1986). To the authors' knowledge, Rodgers (1941) is the only report of this tapeworm.
